In Class 10 Science Chapter 10 Light, the phenomena of reflection and refraction of light using the straight-line propagation of light are taught to students. Furthermore, optical phenomena in nature are examined. The reflection of light by spherical mirrors is discussed in the chapter so that their applications are studied in real-life situations.

Reflection is the phenomenon where light rays bounce back into the same
medium after striking a surface
—— Lawsof Reflection
1.The First Law of Reflection: All the incident ray, the reflected ray, and
the normal to the surface at the point of incidence lie in the same plane.
2.The Second Law of Reflection: The angle of incidence equals the angle of
reflection. In other words, the angle between the incident ray and the
normal is equal to the angle between the reflected ray and the normal.
1.A plane mirror forms an image that is virtual and erect.
2.The image appears laterally inverted.
3.The distance of the image from the mirror is the same as the
distance of the object from the mirror, but behind the mirror.
4.The size of the image is equal to the size of the object
(magnification factor, m, equals 1).
Mirrors with spherical reflecting surfaces are part of hollow glass spheres. A
concave mirror has a curved reflective surface on its inner side, while a convex
mirror has a reflective surface that bulges outward, away from the light source.1.0 concave mirror, characterized by its inwardly curved reflecting surface, is
known as a concave mirror.
2.Conversely, a conver mirror, distinguished by its outwardly curved reflecting
surface, is referred to as a convex mirror,
Pole: Denoted by "P," the pole of 4 spherical mirror is the center of its reflecting
surface, coinciding with the mirror's surface itself.
Centre of curvature: The center of the sphere from which the reflecting surface
of a spherical mirror is derived is called the center of curvature, For concave
mirrors, it lies in front, while for convex mirrors, it lies behind the mirror.
The radius of curvature: Represented by "R,” it is the radius of the sphere from
which the reflecting surface of a spherical mirror is derived.
Principal axis: The principal axis of a spherical mirror is a straight line passing
through the mirror's pole and its center of curvature. It is perpendicular to the
mirror's surface at its pole.
Principal focus: Denoted by “F," for a concave mirror, parallel rays converge at
the principal focus, while for a convex mirror, they appear to diverge from it. The
distance between the mirror's pole and the principal focus is the focal length.
Aperture: The diameter of the reflecting surface in a spherical mirror is referred
to as the aperture. When the aperture is significantly smaller than the radius of
curvature, an approximation of R = 2f can be used.

Concave mirrors are used in torches, headlights, shaving mirrors, dental examinations,
and solar furnaces for heat.

1. (u) (object distance) is always negative.
2. (u) (image distance) is positive behind a concave mirror, negative in front of a concave
mirror, and always positive for a convex mirror.
3. The focal length ( f) of a concave mirror is always negative, and that of a convex mirror is
always positive
4. The height of an object is always positive
5. If the image is erect, the height is taken as positive; if inverted, the height is negative.
The bending of light at the boundary between two mediums is called refraction.
Examples include a spoon dipped in water and the appearance of the bottom of a glass
tumbler filled with water.
Light bends when moving between different mediums because of speed differences. Light
travels at varied velocities in materials, accelerating or decelerating upon entry into a new
medium. This change alters the direction of light, known as refraction. The degree of bending
depends on the extent of the speed change. Refraction is governed by the refractive index,
indicating the ratio of light speed in vacuum to its speed in the medium.
+ Incident ray, reflected ray, and normal to the surface of two media at a point of
incidence are coplanar.
* Snell's law: The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of
refraction is constant for a given color and pair of media.2. Bat the speed of the light change

Convex lens: Thicker in the middle, converges light to a real focus.
Concave lens: Thicker at edges, diverges light to a virtual focus. Both are
transparent materials with curved surfaces, forming lenses.
